Oh Well Lyrics

Oh Well lyrics



What you did to me made me

See myself something different

Though I try to talk sense to myself

But I just won't listen



Won't you go away

Turned yourself in

You're no good at confession

Before the image that you burned me in

Tries to teach you a lesson



What you did to me made me see myself somethin' awful

A voice once stentorian is now again meek and muffled

It took me such a long time to get back up the first time you did it

I spent all I had to get it back, and now it seems I've been outbidded



My peace and quiet was stolen from me

When I was looking with calm affection

You were searching out my imperfections



What wasted unconditional love

On somebody

Who doesn't believe in the stuff



You came upon me like a hypnic jerk

When I was just about to settle

And when it counts you recoil

With the cryptic word you even love belittling



Oh what a cold and common old way to go

I was feeding on the need for you to know me

Devastated at the rate you fell below me



What wasted unconditional love

On somebody

Who doesn't believe in the stuff
